Bash foreach loop

Question

I have an input (let\'s say a file). On each line there is a file name. How can I read this file and display the content for each one.

Answer 1

You'll probably want to handle spaces in your file names, abhorrent though they are :-)

So I would opt initially for something like:

pax> cat qq.in
normalfile.txt
file with spaces.doc

pax> sed 's/ /\\ /g' qq.in | xargs -n 1 cat
<>
<>

pax> _
